The basic Auto case, but with the DRO feature turned up to full strength.

With the mode set to the Landscape scene, the Creative Style options are not accessible.  Still, the extra color saturation is evident.

Program mode gives access to the camera's full range of options, including Creative Style.  Cranking down the contrast gave about as much benefit as the Auto mode /w DRO case.  Although sharpening is used, it may have been offset by extra diffration from the small f/20 aperture.  Stabilzation feature was On, looks like it did kill any shake.
